Insulet Corporation (NASDAQ: PODD), a global leader in tubeless insulin pump technology, announced a remarkable 29% year-over-year revenue increase for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025. This topline growth, reported at $569.0 million, notably exceeded the company’s guidance range, driven by both U.S. and international expansion of its flagship Omnipod product line.
Who is Insulet and what did they announce? Insulet is a medical device firm focused on revolutionizing diabetes management through its Omnipod brand of tubeless insulin pumps. On May 8, 2025, the company reported robust financial results with revenue up 28.8% compared to $441.7 million in Q1 2024, or 29.8% growth in constant currency terms. Omnipod revenue alone increased 28.0% (29.0% constant currency), reflecting a 26.4% rise in the U.S. market and 32.2% internationally (36.1% constant currency).
When and where is this growth happening? The growth is global. Notably, Omnipod 5 was launched in nine new countries during early 2025 including Australia, Belgium, Canada, and Switzerland, extending availability to fourteen countries worldwide. This geographic expansion is a key catalyst for the strong international revenue gains.
What about profitability and other financial metrics? Insulet’s gross margin improved significantly to 71.9%, a 240 basis point increase from 69.5% in Q1 2024, evidencing operational efficiencies and possibly scale benefits. Operating income rose by 56% to \(88.8 million, or 15.6% of revenue, compared to 12.9% last year. Adjusted operating income margin expanded 350 basis points to 16.4% of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA reached \)133.9 million, 23.5% of revenue, gaining 330 basis points year-over-year.
Net income was \(35.4 million or \)0.50 diluted EPS, down from \(51.5 million or \)0.73 EPS last year, reflecting \(39.5 million in loss on debt extinguishment related to repurchasing convertible notes. Excluding this, adjusted net income was \)73.7 million, or $1.02 per diluted share.
Operating cash flow was \(63.8 million, with free cash flow of \)51.5 million. Despite declines versus prior year, cash flow remains solid, supporting ongoing investments.
Why does this matter? The performance underscores Insulet’s transition from an emerging diabetes technology company to a durable growth engine. The company is scaling its Omnipod 5 platform effectively domestically and abroad, innovating automated insulin delivery backed by clinical trial successes (RADIANT trial showed a 0.8% reduction in HbA1c).
What are Insulet’s outlook and strategic initiatives? For Q2 2025, Insulet expects 23%-26% total Omnipod revenue growth in constant currency, with further gross margin stable around 71% and operating margin near 16.5%. The company has successfully issued \(450 million senior unsecured notes, extended credit facilities, and initiated a \)125 million share repurchase program aimed at offsetting dilution.
This dynamic growth coupled with operational discipline positions Insulet well in the expanding diabetes market, navigating geopolitical, supply chain, and regulatory complexities with resilience.
